It took mine 8 days to arrive. I installed it today. Pretty easy to install as long as you follow the directions. The only thing is that the silicone coupler does not line up the MAF and filter into the bow so i just used my old one till i have time to try and modify the one they sent. The other thing with the coupler is the hole for the "plastic bung" does not line up with the hard line that it is supposed to attach to.
Overall i am very satisfied with the setup. I can definitaly feel the Boost. You cant really hear the sound difference until you get above 2000 RMP, then it really sounds great.


Now onto a throttle body, any ideas?

I will be uploading some pics this weekend.

I was told that the silicone coupler is ment for use with the 5.3L the stock hose is suppsed to be used on the V6's...but i'm sure it can be modified to work on V6's.

Just finished installing mine too and as mentioned above, only the kit for the 5.3L comes with the silicone coupler. The v6 kit is meant to be used with stock hose. It was pretty easy to install on my 3.5L car, only part that was hard for me was to get the new air box lined up with the c-clips that were provided. Could have used a 3rd hand! Took it out for a short spin and while I couldn't really feel to much of a power boost, I noticed that it kicks in at a lower rpm and the sound is intoxicating! Definitely worth the upgrade I'd say so far and I'm sure I'm only going to be happier with time.
